Case of the Week 130
One with a parasite in its chest region
Here is a video showing how the parasite was slightly moving (although it's hard to make out since the mouse's heart is also beating):
Another mouse with double parasites in its posterior
We were able to remove one of these for further examination. Here is the video of its removal:
Here is the object we removed:
Finally, here is the mouse after we removed the parasite, showing the pocket that was left behind:

Botfly larva??

Where in the world - Africa?
Cordylobia anthropophaga - tumbu fly.

Bot Fly larva.
I tried to rear two of the larvae to adults but they did not pupate.
Identification to species would have been easier. Probably _Cuterebra sp._ These larva drop off the host and pupate in the ground then emerge as adults. See _Dermatobia hominis_ for human bot fly information and images in Wallace Peters' "A Colour Atlas of Arthropods in Clinical Medicine"

Since it's so old, not sure if anyone will see this, but I have a question regarding the parasite in question. I recently in southern florida came across a mouse with three of these larvae visible from the rear. My dog actually pounced and snatched the mouse in his mouth, and when the mouse didn't scurry off when I made Wookie drop it, I inspected further. Man these buggers give me the hebeejebees! They aren't transmissible, are they?
- June 26, 2011 at 6:41 PM
- Parasite Gal said...
Hi SGH,
No, thankfully, they aren't transmissible. They're just part of the lifecycle of a fly that is parasitic during it's larval stage. Once they mature, they fall our of the host (mouse) and pupate in the ground. Eventually, an adult fly will emerge from the pupa stage.
I should mention that there are some flies outside of the US that do use humans as their host - South America and Africa are 2 locations where you are at risk. So you may want to find out more about these areas, should you ever decide to take a trip to an endemic area.

While looking for things to write about related to my mouse trap blog, I've seen this kinda of parasite, but never a double exit, so to speak, and then reading the comment about the triple exit, eek, poor little guys.
- January 8, 2012 at 6:06 PM
Thank you for your pictures and information. I live in Minnesota, and found a dead mouse on the stairway to the basement with one of these wiggling "pods" next to it. Upon closer examination, there was a vacant space under the tail. I thought at first the mouse had been stepped on, forcing the uterus out of the body, but no pics of mouse anatomy matched what I was seeing. It greatly disturbed me, as I was wondering if humans or dogs could be host for this parasite. I am greatly relieved to know that this is rodent specific.
- August 26, 2012 at 7:51 AM
So far no one has given this parasite a name. I found one today in the trap. I'd like to know more but can't find the name. Anyone?
- September 7, 2012 at 11:07 AM
- Parasite Gal said...
Hi Anon,
This is actually the rodent bot fly, Cuterebra species. Here is an entry on this organism at BugGuide.net - a great reference for bugs!

does the mouse survive the life cycle of the parasite? I just found one of these yesterday and the mouse looked in really bad shape. It looked like it was being tortured. not sure what to do I dropped the mouse into a pond thinking it would either drown the mouse or cause the parasite to exit the wound. The mouse swam with some trouble, but my attempt seemed to do no good for anyone. Would it have died anyway?
- September 9, 2013 at 11:05 PM
- Parasite Gal said...
Jacob, the Mose does survive, although it doesn't always do as well as a non-infected mouse!

Germs are everywhere around us. You never know when you go out anymore if you are going to come back home carrying in a nasty cold germ. I am glad to see that most public places are now offering hand sanitizers.
It seems like children are more subjected to picking something up. I have a nephew that seems to get sick every time he turns around. Poor little guy takes everything and seems like he takes it twice as hard and as long as everyone else.
While there isn't much we can do to stop this, there is stuff we can do to try and prevent it. Things such as
I was very excited when I came across a company called Safe Hands. SafeHands was started by Dr. Jay. Dr. Jay got a team of experts together and actually came up with an alternative to the main stream alcohol-based sanitizers. Not only did he develop a product a product to kill 99.99% of the germs, but he came up with a product that has a foam and soothes, nourishes and preserves the natural oils in hands.
I was very excited when I learned about all the facts of this product. I know with my nephew he is allergic to most everything! Medicines, nuts, milk etc. So when I read that these two product lines, safeSQUIRTS and safeHands classic line were alcohol free, I thought that was great. We just never know what is going to irritate him.
I also appreciated the fact that these products wouldn't be harmful if it was accidentally ingested or misused. I know as adults we watch out for the little ones in our lives, but it only takes a second for a curious child to get into something. I had actually overlooked a lot of the benefits of what these products offered.
Share your toys, Not Germs!
After reading up on the products I knew this was something I wanted for my nephew. I contacted the company and they sent me several bottles of, SafeSQUIRTS
When the sanitizers arrived I was very impressed! They come in cute bottles and scents. I loved the colors and I instantly knew my nephew would like them as well.
The verdict?
It only takes about 2 squirts per usage.
Nice foam
Dries fast
Mom approved, Kid approved and yes most importantly Aunt approved!
Be sure and follow safe hands on Twitter and like them on facebook!
What would be a reason you would change over to safeSQUIRTS or safeHands?

I'm Running. Join Me!
I'm running for Congress because my community deserves a voice in Washington. As a lifelong Democrat, I grew up here, raised my children and built a successful business. For the last 30 years, I've worked to make my community healthier and more prosperous.
I've always fought for what's right, it's who I am. Since the last election, I've watched as outsiders make decisions that will hurt those I hold dear. While running for office was never part of my "life plan", it's something I must do. My knowledge, experience, deep roots in community and determination are what's needed.
I believe that in our community, we agree on much more than we disagree. We need to start there. That's why I'm putting my experience in job creation, economic development, healthcare, environmental protection, and small business development to work. Since January, I've traveled the district listening to your concerns and learning from you about what's important. Click here to read more about my issues.

LOS ANGELES — Israel's Consul General to the southwestern United States, David Siegel, spoke to Breitbart News about Los Angeles native Israeli Defense Forces soldier Max Steinberg, who was killed Sunday fighting Hamas in Gaza. Siegel also discussed Israel's ground operation targeted at destroying tunnels that terrorists have dug in anticipation of launching attacks on Israel.
"He was a hero of Israel, of the Jewish people," Siegel said of IDF soldier Max Steinberg who was killed on Sunday by terrorist fire while fighting Hamas on the front lines of his unit. "On behalf of the State of Israel, the consulate and our partners in the [greater Los Angeles] community," Siegel extended his condolences to the Steinberg family. "Max's sacrifice will never be forgotten."
Max, 24, was one of two Americans, along with Sean Nissim Carmeli, 21, of Texas, to die while fighting Hamas on Sunday.
Max was born and raised in Woodland Hills, California, where he graduated from El Camino High School. He briefly attended Pierce College, but soon discovered his passions lay more greatly with the defense of Democracy and the protection of America's democratic counterpart in the Middle East, Israel, than with academia.
After a trip to Israel in 2012, Siegel said Max fell in love and made the decision to enlist as a volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces just a few short months after in the fall of that year. He was accepted into one of the IDF's "foremost elite combat units" of the army, the Golani unit. Siegel said that the Golani unit is "known as a major combat unit that is tasked with some of the most difficult missions," noting that it is "famous for some of Israel's most difficult battles." They bare a large part of the military activity that takes place on the ground, he noted. Max's family described him as "a loving, fearless, relentless man."
The Golani unit, Siegel added, is "dealing directly with the threat of terrorist tunnels and rocket launchers." He said the "heart of the Gaza neighborhood has been turned into a terrorist fortress."
On Thursday, Hamas terrorists posing as IDF soldiers and wearing IDF uniforms infiltrated Israel and opened fire, killing two IDF soldiers. "They attacked us from behind…It's a clear and present danger to Israeli civilians," Siegel insisted, noting the urgency being employed with the dismantling of the underground terrorist tunnels. "It's very treacherous underground."
Siegel noted to Breitbart News that these "attack tunnels" have been discovered "under mosques, under homes…and those tunnels go under Israeli civilian communities." He said Israel is "in the process of destroying them" but that "it's going to take time" as the tunnels are made of "reinforced concrete." Eighteen attack tunnels have already been uncovered, each one running approximately one mile in length and are composed of over 700 tons of cement, Siegel explained.
On Saturday, terrorists used the tunnels to access Israel, carrying tranquilizers and handcuffs, clearly intent on taking prisoners, just as they had done with Gilad Shalit, Siegel reminded. In 2011, Israeli prisoner of war Gilad Shalit was released from his Hamas captives after five years of being held by them. He was released in exchange for the release of 1,027 terrorist prisoners.
Siegel told Breitbart News that the IDF has approximately "5,000 lone soldiers [like Max], a large part of them from North America and Canada" serving in Israel. He called Max's service "a great expression of courage, bravery and brotherhood of the Jewish people," emphasizing that "Americans have given up a lot of fight in the IDF. It's a very unique process."
Israel's consulate in Los Angeles has done a great deal of work with partners to set up a program which offers support within the community for the parents and families of lone soldiers who are in need of support.
Max's parents and siblings are currently on their way to Israel to prepare for the burial of their son and brother. His funeral, Siegel said, is set to take place sometime this week. Israel's government officially identified Max's body this afternoon.
"Max made the ultimate sacrifice and we are forever indebted to him," Siegel said.

FREMONT, CA --A video showing Congressman Pete Stark, D-Fremont, bantering with members of the Minutemen has turned into a rallying cry for the anti-illegal immigration group.
"The Minutemen want to have something to say? Who you going to kill today?" said Stark.
The video was shot by Minuteman Steve Kemp at Stark's townhall meeting last Saturday in Fremont. Kemp posted it on YouTube where it has had over 48,000 views.
At one point, Stark jokes that he will sell ladders if the government builds a wall at the border.
"Pete is Pete and he just started making jokes about everything and it's a serious matter and I'm sorry, but you just don't expect that kind of thing from your representatives," said Kemp.
Stark defended his comments and sarcasm saying there are already 20,000 border patrol agents and that, "what it comes down to is fear of people who speak with an accent."

Spirit of Adventure docked under Brian Evans hand at H&M Landing September 24 with 25 anglers aboard. They fished a Guadalupe and Cedros Island; also for rockfish on the Baja coast.
Ron Goodrich of Pueblo, CO won first place on the five-day trip, which fished at Guadalupe for two and a half days. Rons tuna weighed 93 pounds, and took a sardine on a 2/0 Mutu ringed hook. He said he fished 40-pound Big Game line and 65-pound Spectra backing on an Avet LX reel and a Calstar 760 rod.
It was a great fight! The fish fought for 45 minutes, he added. The rod is brand new, made by Ray Salvador.
The big one here fought for 45 minutes, said Ron Goodrich of Pueblo, CO.
Dale Stilwell of Laguna Niguel was second, for an 88.6-pounder, and Mike Simmons of Lemon Grove won third place for a 76-pound Guadalupe yellowfin tuna.
Ben Frazier of Oxnard brought his trips best yellowtail, a 38-pounder, into the lineup shot. He got it with a sardine on a dropper loop.
Knocked The Bait
Andy Cates docked the Red Rooster III at H&M Landing September 24 after the boats last five-day trip of the season, which visited Guadalupe Island. Fishing was a tough scratch, but his anglers still got nearly four big tuna per person.
Ben Murphy of Point Loma, a former deckhand, won first place for an 88-pound yellowfin tuna.
He hit the bait and knocked it out of the water, said Ben. Is that OK to say? And then he almost spooled me. He fought for half an hour.
Ben fished with a rig belonging to the boat. He baited a sardine on a 4/0 Mustad hook, with 40-pound Izorline on a Penn 500 reel and a Calstar 665 rod.
These dandies came on Red Rooster III's last Guadalupe trip of the season.
Rob Pennell of Pt. Loma won second place for an 82.7-pounder, and Steve Stutz of Pt. Loma was third, for an 80-pound yellowfin tuna.

Something extraordinary has happened to the oatmeal shelves. This time last year I'm sure there was just plain porridge oats and some sort of hot oaty cereal with a couple of flavours. Take a look at the supermarket shelves now…they're groaning with oats of every description. And upmarket too. One of the packs costs in the region of £5.00. That's really a lot when you can buy a kilo of porridge oats for about 50p.
So, in the interests of research, I spent not quite that amount but getting near it on a nicely packaged 'delicious blend of oat flakes and oatmeal'. The oats are organic and certified so by the Soil Association. I made the porridge in my usual way, ½ cup of meal to about 1 ¼ cups of water, microwave for 2 mins. And even though I grew up in
So what did I think? Well, it was pretty good actually; the pleasure was in the texture, both rough and smooth together, and I really think I could have got that without paying quite as much.
But anyway I took the Goldilocks option and ate it all up, every last lipsmacking mouthful!
PS A very timely comment from Pille at Nami-Nami tells us about takeaway porridge stands in Edinburgh, my alma mater and source of all good things.

North Salem
I had such a great time working with the clients of this kitchen. Their home was located on a private road on a beautiful property. They had lived in their home for many years and had two children who were on their way to college. It was time for them to renovate their kitchen, and they made it clear to me that it was to be warm, functional and work for their busy lifestyle.
This is a family that loves to have parties with friends and family every week. When the kids are home from college this is the place to be!
The old kitchen was not workable at all. The island was too long for the space, there was no traffic flow from one side to the other. The sink and workspace was on one end of the kitchen, refrigerator and oven on the other end. No room for pantry storage and tired finishes. Appliances were starting to break. A huge built in desk took up a lot of real estate in the room and new technology could move the desk to a smaller, more efficient area.
My clients are very traditional, and wanted to keep the "country feel" in a classic way. I was able to visualize what I could do and I was eager to choreograph this space and make it an accessible dance floor!
I moved the sink, ovens and cooktop to one area of the kitchen making it more functional and easy to use. We closed one window and installed two windows flanking the cooktop and custom hood to add more light to the kitchen and bring the outside in. One island became two, one for working and one for enjoying a meal when not in the new breakfast nook. A coffee center was a must, and everything in the kitchen had a place! We moved the desk to a small area on the other side of the room that housed a TV, charging station for their iPhones and iPads, a mail station and a place to put her workbag when the day was finished. The pantry was fun! We decided to build a pantry along a long wall and fabricate two doors that looked like full sized cabinets, but…. opened into a pantry!
The colors are warm and inviting…. we used a combination of cherry and painted cabinetry. We used a bronze "metal fusion" paint on the hood which will not darken or pit in the future. The dark floor "grounds" the room. My clients love lime green and blue and we used that on the window treatments, chairs, rugs and accessories. Let the music play!!

Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Outfitters and Guides

Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (HCNRA) straddles the Snake River which forms the boundary between Idaho and Oregon and encompasses 652,488-acres. The Hells Canyon Wilderness comprises nearly 215,000 acres within the HCNRA. The HCNRA, Oregon side, has 15 campgrounds that are located in four distinct and separate areas. The Imnaha River area supports a total of six facilities. The Imnaha River is a designated Wild and Scenic River and is considered critical habitat for the listed Chinook Salmon and the listed Bull Trout. Forest Road #46 or Wellamotkin Drive area supports two developed facilities, which are located north and west of Enterprise and offers some spectacular views of Hells Canyon. These facilities are located along the rim area within timbered groves. The Hat Point complex begins at the town of Imnaha and terminates at Hat Point Lookout where two developed facilities are available. A variety of experiences are available along the 26-mile trip including vistas and hiking trails. The North Pine area is comprised of three sites (North Pine Rest Stop, Duck Lake, and Twin Lakes), two located in an alpine zone and associated with lakes, and the North Pine Rest Stop located along the Scenic Byway.
There are four designated scenic drives on the Wallowa-Whitman: Elkhorn Drive National Forest Scenic Byway, Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, Highway 3 Scenic Drive, Lostine Canyon Scenic Drive
The Forest contains several designated Wild and Scenic Rivers. In the winter, Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort offers downhill skiing and snowboarding.
The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest contains portions of four designated Wilderness Areas. Visitors to the Hells Canyon Wilderness can ramble among 9,300 foot alpine peaks before descending 7,000 feet to desert like river bottoms on trails that crisscross open grassy benches and thickly timbered draws; trails that cross level flats and fade into the horizon and steep narrow trails that were blasted into sheer rock bluffs. There are approximately 360 miles of trails scattered throughout the wilderness. In Idaho, backpackers are the dominant recreational group between June to September with the alpine lakes of the Seven Devil Mountains being the main attraction. Equestrians dominate the Oregon side with heaviest use associated with spring and fall big game hunt season. However, the lower elevations offer wilderness recreational opportunities year round.
The Eagle Cap Wilderness lies in the heart of the Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon. It is characterized by high alpine lakes and meadows, bare granite peaks and ridges, and U-shaped glaciated valleys. Hikers and horseback riders can choose from approximately 534 miles of trails.
From rolling bench lands to the granite outcrops of the Greenhorn Mountains, the rugged North Forest John Day Wilderness provides diverse landscapes. Much of the wilderness is composed of gentle bench lands and tablelands; the remaining of steep ridges and alpine lake basins. A continuous vegetative canopy covers most of the land, including dense virgin stands of conifer species like Douglas-fir, white fir, western larch and lodgepole pine.
In the Monument Rock Wilderness, at the southernmost edge of the Blue Mountains, the area's alpine, once-glaciated ridges offer views across much of eastern Oregon. Hunting is the most popular activity, with hiking and backpacking increasing in popularity. Table Rock Lookout draws many visitors and is one of the entry points to the Wilderness.
Recreation - The Wallowa-Whitman offers opportunities for a variety of outdoor recreation activities. Some of the many activities include camping, picnicking, fishing, backpacking, rafting, kayaking, horseback riding, hunting, four-wheel driving, motorcycle and ATV riding, downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
The Forest has established campgrounds located throughout the Forest. If you prefer more solitude or want to explore the backcountry, most of the Forest is open for dispersed or backcountry camping. Some regulations apply. Typically, dispersed camping is NOT allowed in the vicinity of developed recreation areas such as campgrounds, picnic areas or trailheads.
Climate - The diversity in elevation on the Wallowa-Whitman can also cause unpredictable weather with temperatures ranging from winter nighttime lows of 30 degrees Fahrenheit in alpine country to over 100 degrees in the summer at lower elevations near the Snake River. Precipitations also vary greatly. Changes in weather are common, but summers are generally warm and dry with cool evenings. Cold, snowy winters and mild temperatures during spring and fall can be expected.
Location -
The Wollowa-Whitman National Forest is located in the northeast corner of Oregon. It includes and administers the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area on the Snake River, along the Oregon-Idaho border. The Forest is headquartered in Baker, Oregon. Interstate 84 runs between two large sections of the Forest.

The NFL released a statement noting that the league, not the home team, provides coaches' communications equipment for games. The explanation comes in the wake of technical difficulties for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots during the season opener at Gillette Stadium.
"In the first quarter of tonight's game, the Pittsburgh coaches experienced interference in their headsets caused by a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather," NFL spokesman Michael Signora explained. "The coaches' communications equipment, including the headsets, is provided by the NFL for both clubs use on game day. Once the power issue was addressed, the equipment functioned properly with no additional issues."
The NFL explanation clashes with the description of the issue by the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"We were listening to the Patriots radio broadcast for the majority of the first half through our headsets," an irked Mike Tomlin revealed after the game. He called such glitches normal for Foxboro.
"We had a lot of problems," his counterpart Bill Belichick said. "We had to switch headphones a couple of times. The communications system wasn't very good."
The New England Patriots, powered by a near-perfect performance by quarterback Tom Brady, won the game 28-21.

oh hello again! nevermind me and my failed attempts at blogging and being grateful. just moving right along!
this is hanging above my rocking chair in our room. my mother made it (surprise, surprise, my mother makes everything that i love and want in my house... the wreath she just made me deserves a post of its own!) when she was pregnant with one of her 6 children. what a special thing to have made while pregnant. the only thing i made was... trips to the bathroom and the junk food store. sad. i actually bought lots of fabric to make blankets and crib skirts but my mom just went ahead and took that fabric and made those items way better than i ever could. thanks mom.
the quote reminds me how amazing it is to be a mom. and who cares if my room isn't picked up at the moment. or my dishes are overflowing. when gretta needs to be rocked that is the best thing i could ever be doing at any moment.
i'm doing a special little experiement today with my baby girl. i hope it works out the way i want it to. its real technologically advanced and has some harry potter magical elements involved. there's that to keep you on your toes!
i love life.

The disease Chikungunya is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that causes fever and severe joint pains. It is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito.
The mosquito
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spread or pass on the chikungunya virus. This type of mosquito also spreads the dengue virus.
Messages from the Ministry of Health on Chikungunya
The most common symptoms are fever and severe joint pains, often in the hands, wrist and ankles. Prolonged effects include arthritis and disabling joint pains. In some cases, symptoms can last for months and even years.
Other symptoms include headache, backache, muscle pain, nausea, fatigue and rash.
If you suspect that you have been infected, please contact your doctor, the nearest medical centre or the Ministry of Health toll free 1-888-663-5683.
Persons at high risk for more severe symptoms
Newborns and the elderly
Women late in their pregnancy as there is increased risk of disease in the unborn child
Persons with underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease.
There are no medicines to specifically treat chikungunya and there is no vaccine.
Pain killers can be taken to help reduce the fever and pain, however:
Use Paracetamol pain killers ONLY
DO NOT TAKE other pain killers such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs, as they may increase your risk of bleeding.
Prevent Mosquito Bites
Mosquitoes which spread Chikungunya bite during the daytime.
Protect yourself from mosquito bites :
Wear light coloured clothing and cover your body as much as possible
Use mosquito repellents containing DEET on exposed skin
Use mosquito coils and electric vaporization mats both day and night
Use mosquito nets
Use door and window screens (mesh)
Prevent Mosquito Breeding
Mosquitoes live and breed in standing water in and around the home.
Do your part by preventing mosquito breeding:
Cover all drums, tanks, barrels and buckets that are used to store water
Get rid of all old tyres, tins, bottles, plastic containers, coconut shells and anything in which rain water settles
Cover trash containers to keep out rain water
Punch holes in the bottom of tins before placing them in the garbage
Keep flower pot saucers dry and avoid over-watering potted plants
Empty and scrub flower vases twice weekly
Empty and wash pets' water containers twice weekly
Keep house plants in damp soil instead of water.
Visit your doctor or nearest Health Centre if you think you or a family member might have Chikungunya

With a huge revolution, iOS versions are modified with latest technologies. So the latest iOS versions include latest functionality features. So Apple always releases something with great conditions. They hope to impress all the Apple users in all around the world. Do you know the latest iOS news? Actually, Apple decided to release another iOS version for iOS 11. That is iOS 11.4, the fourth bug fixed version. So before Apple release it , we must know all the details of iOS 11.4 and download Cydia iOS 11.4. Then we can get ready to welcome the iOS 11.4 and we can face it very well. So go through this article for further details on iOS 11.4.
Review of iOS 11.4
Finally, Apple announced that they confirm the release of iOS 11.4 in further days. So it is better to get ready with the latest iOS version which includes milestone updates. Such as the earlier iOS versions this time we can easily download it for all the compatible iDevices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices.
You know that iOS 11.3.1 was included a plenty of problems while containing solutions for iOS 11.3. Then users complained about it and that's why Apple decided to release iOS 11.4 with bug fixed solutions. So it will release in further days. But sometimes it takes some considerable time.
iOS 11.4 will be the final iOS 11 subversion and it will be the connector for iOS 12 and iOS 11. So it must be released before the iOS 12 release. In fact, iOS 11.4 is the fourth bug fixed version of iOS 11 and it will make a great change for all the I Devices in performance. So if you get close to iOS 11.4 download, getting Cydia iOS 11.4 be an easy process for you.
Things you should know about – iOS 11.4 Beta
Now you know about iOS 11.4. But the truth is iOS 11.4 was not released yet. It was standing on its beta stage and now there are six beta versions for iOS 11.4. Those beta releases were targeted the iOS developers and then they developed it for suitable public release. When they confirm the version is suitable for public release it was not released.
In fact, iOS 11.4 beta versions are available for paid developers and Beta Software Programmers. So it is not a good idea for using those beta versions until waiting for the official release. But still, you want to use it then before that use an iOS 11.4 pre-installation guide.
Guide for Download Cydia iOS 11.4
Now we are going to talk about download Cydia iOS 11.4. Actually, this is the most waited process among Apple users. So you must update with this install Cydia iOS 11.4 before going to use it.
Now you know that although Apple compatible with Cydia, it does not let you download Cydia as it is a third party app collection. So you have to jailbreak the iOS for download Cydia iOS 11.4. If the jailbreak available, then you can easily download Cydia. But if not, then you have to use an online Cydia installer or online semi jailbreak.
Here you can use CydiaPro Cydia installer, as it is the best and most available tool for non-jailbroken devices to download Cydia.

"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." – William Morris *
The whisper I have heard from corners in our house is setting the tone for 2013, this bright new year. It seems like such a simple idea, but with some fairly major decluttering and rearranging underfoot, it is anything but simple. It is, however, what I will strive for this coming year. To fill our little home with only with those things that we truly use or find satisfying to the soul to have around…and if something is useful and beautiful. Bonus marks, I think.
So, after a busy December and a Christmas that just flew by, I am once again looking forward with anticipation to what this year will bring for our family.
Welcome 2013!
* To be perfectly honest, I don't know whether he whispered it at all. He may in fact have declared it, possibly just stated it, or perhaps even yawned it on his way to bed.
2 Responses to A Morris Whisper for 2013
Heather says:
love this!
Belinda says:
Thanks! It's certainly going to keep us busy – all this decluttering!

Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Applied Centre
Professional Ethics Training
Traditional continuing professional development (CPD) in ethics gives trainees a set of rules, and then urges compliance with the rules, relying on the carrot and stick to bring behaviour into line. Such an approach is no longer sufficient on its own. Professionals work in a complex and rapidly changing environment, and today's leaders recognise the importance of empowering and supporting individuals as decision-makers with professional autonomy. More than ever, todays professionals need good judgment and the ability to make good decisions for the right reasons.
We specialise in ethics CPD, providing training with an understanding of what skills people need to make good ethical decisions. We don't ask trainees to learn a code of ethics by rote, or set them simple cases with straightforward right or wrong answers. Instead, we give trainees the ability to navigate more complex scenarios, understanding the principles involved, resolving tension between principles and exercising judgment. With these abilities, they can address real world issues with confidence, have clear and productive discussions with colleagues, and make decisions based on good reasons rather than simply relying on gut feeling.
We work closely with clients to develop bespoke training courses which combine depth of learning with an engaging and stimulating delivery style.
Our services
- Face-to-face training, from short sessions to longer courses.
- Facilitated online learning, using webinars or asynchronous discussion forums.
- Interactive e-learning design.
- Written guidance and thought leadership.
- Articles for professional and trade magazines.
- Conference presentations, panels and workshops.
To find out more about our consultancy and training activities, please contact Dr Jim Baxter.
Examples of our work
The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA)
Our online Professional Skills Course is taken by all professional actuaries in the UK and overseas who are members of the IFoA (around 20,000 members in total). We designed the course in partnership with the IFoA and co-facilitate it alongside experienced actuaries.
The course surpassed my expectations by far. Its structure made it easy to follow the material and I leave with a much better understanding of how an actuary should behave in a professional environment. Thanks!
Thanks to the facilitators for your comments and interesting insights throughout the course.
Course participants
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
IET members benefit from our training services in three ways:
· A set of interactive case studies based around the IETs Rules of Ethical Conduct: the Professional Ethics Webzone.
· A face-to-face one-day course in Professional Ethics for Engineers.
· Two complete online modules delivered through the IET Academy, in Professional Ethics and the Ethics of Computing.
We are absolutely delighted with the case studies and judging by the web stats our members also greatly appreciate the resource.
Anne Fitzsimons, Membership Manager, the IET
The Chartered Banker Institute
Our online ethics toolkit, developed for the Chartered Banker Institute and hosted on their website, incorporates e-learning discovery sessions and interactive case studies, covering topics including Professional Ethics, Codes of Conduct, Ethical Reasoning and Banking and Society.
We have also developed an innovative online ethical assessment tool for the Chartered Banker Institute, which will be taken by all of their members, beginning next year.
The Intellectual Property Regulation Board (IPReg)
IPReg is the regulator for intellectual property attorneys in the UK. We have worked with IPReg to develop an introductory course in Professional Ethics for Intellectual Property Attorneys. The course takes the form of three webinar-based discussion sessions, led by an IDEA Ethicist, with pre-reading and reflective exercises in preparation for each session. It covers subjects including Professionalism, Ethical Reasoning, Conflicts of Interest, Integrity, Competence and Confidentiality.
It was a great opportunity to think in more detail about some issues which are of course relevant in what we do but not bread-and-butter. It was good to think more broadly about professional ethics rather than simply about our profession or just about conflicts of interest.
Course participant
The Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng)
In 2010, the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) commissioned us to produce an innovative guide to professional ethics for engineers. Engineering Ethics in Practice is designed to supplement The Royal Academys Statement of Ethical Principles with illustrative case studies that identify and analyse the ethical dilemmas that engineers face in their professional lives. The guide contains eighteen in-depth case studies, illustrating different aspects of the RAEs four top-level principles.
"The IDEA CETL team has produced an extremely useful set of case studies which illustrate the pertinence to engineering of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Engineering Council's Statement of Ethical Principles. These cases show that the principles can help in guiding the choices and decisions of practicing engineers, and are useful exercises for the engineer to work through to test their ethical reasoning and their application of the principles. Professional engineers at all stages of their career have found them thought provoking and important, especially in the education and training of young engineers."
Natasha McCarthy, Head of Policy, the Royal Academy of Engineering
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII)
In 2009 we developed and delivered a face-to-face course for the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). Our course in Professional Ethics, which ran successfully in locations around the UK, helped the CIIs members to explore the particular ethical issues inherent in their roles, as well as the overarching themes of professionalism, creating value and the role of values in decision-making. A mixture of real-life case studies and exploration of ethical concepts made for a dynamic, interactive half-day course.
"It made me think about the subject very clearly"
"Thought provoking and well presented"
Course participants
"IDEA have worked with us to present ethics in an interesting, personal and dynamic way to our members. They have helped us bring ethics to life".
David Thomson, Director of Policy and Public Affairs, CII

Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) stated that it was "very unfortunate" that the DOJ and FBI leaked information about the investigation into him and that the DOJ told him there's no indication of wrongdoing by him, and that he has had "no dealing" with the donor under investigation during an appearance on Washington DC's WTOP on Wednesday.
McAuliffe said that it was "very unfortunate" that "institutions of integrity" like the DOJ and FBI leaked information and "should be held to a higher standard." He added that the donor in question, Mr. Wang, was "fully vetted" and was allowed to give money to the campaign, and that he didn't see why it was an issue, and that the DOJ told his lawyer that there was no indication of any wrongdoing on his part.
McAuliffe further stated that he didn't have any personal ties to Wang, but that Wang is a good person, who he "probably met once or twice in my life, I'm not exactly sure." McAuliffe added he had "no dealing" with Wang, and there was "zero chance" of a quid pro quo with Wang, and wouldn't know him if he sat next to him.
When asked if he had discussed the investigation with the Clintons, McAuliffe answered, "Even if I had, I wouldn't tell you."

Richard Burton: Learn more about him, review his filmography and more
The man who would become actor Richard Burton was born Richard Walter Jenkins on November 10, 1925 in Pontrhydfen, South Wales. Jenkins, the twelfth child of an impoverished coal miner, lost his mother when he was two years old. He would be taken under the wing of Philip Burton, a teacher who became the boy's guardian and introduced him to the world of theater.
Jenkins took the Burton surname and made his London acting debut as a Welsh youngster in the play The Druid's Rest. Burton earned a scholarship to attend Oxford University and later joined the British air force during war time.
After leaving the military in 1947, he continued his stage work appearing in The Lady's Not for Burning with Sir John Gielgud. Burton then made his film debut in 1949 with the production The Last Days of Dolwyn. The same year he wed actress Sybil Williams; the couple would have two daughters.
Burton went on to work in more than 40 films. He entered into a contract with Fox studios after Dolwyn, and starred in My Cousin Rachel (1952), for which he earned his first Academy Award nomination, in this case for supporting actor. The 1953 biblical story The Robe followed, for which he received an Oscar nod for best actor. He also had the title role in the epic Alexander the Great (1956) and the British protest film Look Back in Anger (1959).
Burton had continued his stage performances during this period as well, working with the Old Vic and Royal Shakespeare companies in Britain and earning acclaim for his work on Broadway in 1960's Camelot.
In the early 1960s, Burton met actress Elizabeth Taylor on the set of the multi-million dollar epic Cleopatra (1963), for which he was hired to replace actor Stephen Boyd. Taylor said that Burton was recovering from a hangover. Because he was unable to steady his trembling hands, she held his coffee to his lips and their eyes locked. Though each was married at the time, the two embarked on a relationship that was met with scorn from traditional institutions that included the Vatican. The couple's romantic tribulations and luxury-item escapades would be covered in tabloid news for years to come.
After Burton and Taylor divorced their respective spouses, the couple wed on March 15, 1964. They went on to work in 11 films together, including screen adaptations of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Taming of the Shrew (1967). Woolf earned both actors Oscar nominations, for which Taylor won. The couple earned millions for their film roles.
During this period, Burton appeared once again on Broadway in a 1964 staging of Hamlet directed by Gielgud and continued to maintain distinctive projects, garnering additional lead actor Oscar nominations for in Becket (1964), The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) and Anne of the Thousand Days (1969).
Burton continued to drink heavily. His marriage to Taylor was noted for its volatility and storminess, with both performers battling substance addictions. The two were estranged in 1970 and would divorce in 1974. They then reconciled and remarried in the fall of 1975 in Botswana, only to divorce again the following year. Burton would marry model Suzy Hunt in 1976.
Burton continued to make films in the '70s, including Villain (1971), Brief Encounter (1975) and Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), and was nominated for his seventh Oscar for his role as a psychiatrist in the 1977 drama Equus.
In 1980, Burton returned to the New York stage in a revival of Camelot, though his performance would later be curtailed due to the effects of medication for spinal pain; he would leave the play to have surgery. Then, in 1983, he and Taylor returned to working together for the Noel Coward theatrical work Private Lives.
Burton's final film was 1984, an adaptation of the George Orwell classic. Burton died on August 5, 1984, at the age of 58, from a brain hemorrhage in his Céligny, Switzerland home. He was survived by Sally Hay Burton, his fourth wife, who has continued to manage the estate. Burton also had four children. He had two daughters Kate and Jessica, from his marriage to Sybil Christopher. Burton later adopted Elizabeth Taylor's daughter Elizabeth "Liza" Todd, and he and Taylor adopted another daughter, Maria, together.
Several books have chronicled Burton's life, including The Richard Burton Diaries, published in 2012, which collects journal entries and notes kept by the actor throughout the years.

Pensacola's first EntreCon, a two-day symposium on entrepreneurship and business development, finished with a flourish Friday, featuring two homegrown rising stars.
Jeff Phillips and Justin Beck, both Pensacola natives, shared their experiences starting a new business, and expanding an established company.
Phillips is founder and CEO of Accountingfly, a national search company that specializes in matching college graduates with accounting firms.
Beck has taken the reins of Beck Properties, now called Beck Partners, and developed it into an innovating real estate management and insurance services firm.
Both sat on a panel Friday moderated by Independent News owner and publisher Rick Outzen.
As a young entrepreneur, Phillips said running and growing Accountingfly is an exercise in persistence and staying power.
"Our business model is that we live on the brink of failure or success every day," Phillips said. "Our strategy for building our business is that we must get accounting firms to pay us to recruit top talent with accounting majors.
To do this effectively and efficiently, Phillips said Accountingfly uses a highly specialized software they've developed.
One of the most important factors in building a startup company, Phillips said, "is to know exactly what problem you're going to solve for your customers.
"When we go in to pitch our product and service, you learn that you have to be very quick and get right to the point when pitching your company," he said. "You have to tell them the problem you're going to solve for them. You have to know where their pain is, and how to get rid of it."
Phillips offered some sound advice for would-be entrepreneurs: 'Raise as much capital as you can because your budget plan is probably wrong and startup costs very often are twice what you thought they would be."
Although Beck Properties was started by Greg Beck, Justin Beck's father, more than 30 years ago, Justin engaged his entrepreneurial spirit and has expanded the business model of the company, and has added an insurance company to its portfolio.
Beck agreed with Phillips about having sufficient capital in hand before launching a new company.
"You have to have more money that you think you'll need," he said. "You've got to have a healthy margin of safety. Think optimistically, but plan pessimistically."
Earlier Friday, EntreCon attendees, gathered at the renovated historic Rex Theater, now owned by Harvest Church, heard from venture capital expert Chuck Dieveney. Dieveney's firm bought a majority share of Studer Group in 2011 for $217 million.
The firm sold Studer Group, founded by Quint Studer as a healthcare consulting firm in 1998, this year to Chicago-based Huron Consulting Group for $325 million.
A principal in the Maryland-based Juggernaut Capital Partners, Dieveney said that startup companies searching for seed money, or an investment from a venture capital firm, must have five, verifiable features:
1) Extremely strong customer relationships.
2) Involved in a strong market poised for more growth.
3) Be very profitable.
4) Competitive in the market in which they exist.
5) Strong CEO and management team.
Dieveney also explained the difference between a loan from a bank or other lending institution, and an investment by a venture capital firm.
"If you get a loan from a bank for, say $2 million, the bank is going to want one thing: Their money back," he said. "A venture capital company only makes money if your company increases in value."
Although a business owner may have to give up some, or a large percentage of, control of their company, having a venture capital firm on board "gives you another set of eyes watching over your business.
"A venture capital firm helps you see around the corner and anticipate the next challenges you will face," Dieveney said.
He also shared some advice, similar to advise heard from several others speakers over EntreCon's two days.
"Decide on your true dreams and goals. Be persistent, and work hard. Never stop learning," he said. "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up, and winners never give up."

To the Editor:
Your effort to promote truthfulness in the abortion debate (Week in Review, March 9) was undermined by your reference to the alleged link between abortion and breast cancer, and the suggestion that pro-abortion advocates are trying to cover up the truth.
In the breast cancer literature, some studies appear to show a slight increase in risk associated with abortion, while others do not.
Perhaps truth will be served, and this issue put to rest for the moment, by a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine finding ''no overall risk of breast cancer among women with a history of induced abortion.'' Your article did not help to advance this goal.

|Have I been penalized..?Demanding greater search engine transparency
Analysts wise up to search engine penalties, finds new poll... but there's a long way to goNews Release
4 April 2011
Analysts wise up to search engine penalties, finds new poll…
…But there's a long way to go
UK, London – News navigator One News Page is hosting an early evening City seminar on 14 April on the topic of search engine penalties and the risks they pose to quoted companies.
One News Page, which is behind the "Have I Been Penalized..?" campaign for search engine penalty transparency, is inviting retail and technology equity analysts and fund managers to an event where experts from the US and UK will offer an insight into the detrimental consequences of search penalties and explain how penalties could affect investments in smaller quoted companies.
The event is hosted by Ray Snoddy, the well-known media journalist and BBC presenter. Full details of the seminar can be found at http://www.haveibeenpenalized.com/seminar.php.
Search engine penalties are designed to restrict visibility of 'illegitimate' websites, such those involved in spamming.
But search engines can also inflict penalties accidentally, as AIM-quoted Media Corp found to its cost a couple of years ago. It said it lost an estimated £1m in revenues after a two-year penalty drastically reduced searches to a couple of its sites.
One News Page polled 40 London equity analysts about search engine penalties.
It found that nine out of ten analysts want search engines to be more transparent over search penalties.
Just 10% said they were worried that if the rules about penalties were made any more explicit, unscrupulous sites would be tempted to find ways of getting round them.
Sixty per cent of the analysts said they were not aware that search engines could impose penalties without having to inform the affected sites.
Only 25% of the analysts knew that search engine penalties could remain in place for up to three years.
Seventy five per cent of analysts thought search penalties lasted about one year, or for only as long as the cause of the penalty remained in place.
Only 20% of the analyst said they had considered the risks of search engine penalties when analysing stocks, and these were predominantly technology rather than retail industry analysts.
Most analysts agreed that search penalties were becoming an increasingly important topic, especially in the light of the European Commission recently opening its investigation into Google.
Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, Chief Executive Officer of One News Page Ltd., said:
"Our seminar features experts on search engine penalties, including Bob Sakayama, one of the leading expert consultants on search penalties, and UK-based award-winning online marketing company Adrac Ltd, who will discuss the iniquities of some penalties and how these can destroy business on legitimate sites. Badly applied penalties pose risks to online businesses which the City needs to get a firm understanding of."

About "Have I been penalized..?"
The new "Have I been penalized..?" campaign at www.haveibeenpenalized.com asks leading search engines such as Google to introduce three transparency measures on penalties.
• First, to bring in a simple mechanism that tells the site owner that they have suffered a search penalty
• Second, to establish a communication mechanism which allows site owners to find out more about the nature of the penalty
• Third, to instigate a fast and efficient appeals process if site owners wish to challenge the penalty
The campaign is spearheaded by One News Page, a news aggregator which suffered an eight-month Google penalty, causing a 96% fall in Google organic visitor traffic to its site. The campaign is supported by ICOMP, the Initiative for a Competitive Online Market Place, an industry consortium promoting fairer competition on the Internet.

Jeff from Chicago set his personal best bass mark on each of his two trips to Lake Fork with me. His new personal world record, 8 lb 8 oz, caught yesterday on a Texas rigged black neon Lake Fork Flipper:
David with a good lipless crankbait bass on a tough day:
This 8 lb 12 oz bass fell to a chatterbait/Live Magic Shad combo:
A major warming trend has Lake Fork bass rapidly heading towards the first wave of spawning. After recent days of sun burnt customers wearing shorts, it's hard to believe that we fished all morning in a major snowstorm on March 7th with water temps dipping into the upper 40s. While the bass had been biting very strong in the backs of creeks before the cold front, I've caught most of my fish on an "outside" pattern since then--around grass and timber on points and creek channels leading into spawning areas. As the water warmed back up, the bite was slow for numbers most days with a lot of 6 to 10 fish days, although we did manage to catch some big bass. In addition, Fork anglers donated two fish over 13 lbs this week to TX's ShareLunker program. With a few more warm days and the full moon next week, I expect a major wave of spawners to hit the shallows any day now in warmer areas of the lake. As usual, we'll have waves of spawners move up through April, with a few stragglers on beds into mid-May.
Lake Conditions: Since a few heavy rains brought Lake Fork up well over full pool, the water level dropped steadily, currently reading 402.84', about 2 inches below full pool. The current created by drawing water from the lake pulled a lot of muddy water from the very backs of creeks and much of the lake is stained to muddy. Meanwhile, the south end and some protected creeks remain clear. Water temps were reading from 56 to 67 degrees on Saturday, up considerably from last week.
Location Pattern: For prespawn bass, concentrate on points, creek channels, treelines, and inside or outside grass lines near shallow spawning flats. With the water being cold this week, we did better around grass and wood cover in 4' to 10' in the backs of creeks or on cover on or near the main lake. In many cases, we've caught multiple fish from very small areas, so really work an area over once you've caught a fish there. A few spawning bass are currently located in protected bays and typically in the very back ends of creeks. As the water continues to warm, flats and bays nearer the mouths of coves will start holding spawners, too.
Presentation Pattern: For prespawn bass, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and lipless crankbaits are still catching a lot of fish, especially on overcast and windy days. For a big bass, go with a ½ oz chatterbait with a shad colored 4.5 Live Magic Shad trailer and swim it in the same areas you throw a trap or spinnerbait. On calm days, you'll typically do better by switching to a suspending jerkbait or pitching a jig and a Texas rig. Go with gold jerkbaits on cloudy days, while silver color schemes work better on sunny days. Work these baits with a few twitches and long pauses. For a real prespawn monster, pitching heavy cover along the first breakline and creek channels is the way to go. I go with a 3/8 oz Mega Weight black and blue or green pumpkin jig with a Lake Fork Craw trailer in the blue bruiser or watermelon candy colors. For the Texas rig, I'll pitch a Lake Fork Flipper or Top Dog Lizard in black neon or watermelon/chartreuse with a 1/8 to 3/8 oz bullet weight and slowly work it around cover. For bass that have moved onto spawning flats, weightless Texas rigged or wacky rigged soft plastic jerkbaits like Magic Shads, Live Magic Shads, Twitch Worms, and Ring Frys become your best option. Shades of green pumpkin and watermelon are normally top colors, with green pumpkin baits with the tail dipped in chartreuse being the top producer lately.
For spawning bass, white or watermelon Top Dog lizards, Flippers and Craw Tubes work great. White baits allow you to clearly see your bait on the bed, while more natural shades of green are often needed to catch the more finicky bass. Most spawning areas have water that is too muddy to see bedding fish, so pitching Texas rigs and weightless soft plastics to any wood cover and holes in the grass will catch the spawners that you can't see. Work your bait very slowly and keep it in place on the bottom for a long time or you'll pass up all but the most aggressive fish.
Here's hoping you catch the lunker of your dreams. If I can be of assistance, please contact me at 214-683-9572 (days) or 972-635-6027 (evenings) or e-mail me through http://www.LakeForkGuideTrips.com , where your satisfaction is guaranteed.
